In addition to his pioneering research, Glenn T. Seaborg was keenly interested in science education and led efforts to communicate the meaning and excitement of scientific research to the public. He served as chairman of the board of Science Service, publisher of Science News, for nearly three decades. He died on Feb. 25 at the age of 86.
